What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Oct 29, 1:59 AM EDT, 1 hour 13 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 29, 1:59 AM EDT, 1 hour 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
159 AM EDT Wed Oct 29 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure deepens and tracks northeast off the Mid-Atlantic
coast tonight with breezy conditions and occasional light rain
continuing. Another low pressure system moves through the area
Wednesday into Thursday. High pressure builds south of the area
Friday into the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
As of 745 PM EDT Tuesday...

Key Messages:

- Cloudy tonight with some light rain lingering across southern
  VA and northeast NC as low pressure tracks northeast off the
  Mid-Atlantic coast.

Surface analysis places a surface low east of the NC coast,
with an expansive high across Quebec digging down towards our
area. The gradient between these two features resulted in strong
winds this afternoon near the coast. Winds have started to
decrease and the Wind Advisory has been cancelled, but gusts to
30-40 mph will still be possible this evening along the coast.
Rainfall intensity has decreased as well with the heavier echoes
on radar mostly confined to coastal portions of NE NC and
adjacent portions of VA Beach. As high pressure builds further
south overnight into tomorrow morning, rain will start to
deteriorate some across the entire forecast area, though a few
areas of light rain/drizzle cannot be ruled out. QPF overnight
will likely be less than 0.10". Northeasterly winds will
continue through tomorrow morning, though not to the extent we
saw today. The coastal low will track ENE and away from the
coast tonight, which will allow the gradient to relax.
Temperatures will drop into the lower to mid 40s in most
communities and into the lower to mid 50s in SE VA/coastal NE
NC.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM EDT Tuesday...

Key Messages:

- Additional rain and breezy conditions are expected Wednesday
  into Wednesday night as another strong system approaches.

- Rain chances linger through the first half of Thursday before
  beginning to dry out during the afternoon/evening.

The local area remains in a rather progressive pattern over the next
few days. Wednesday we will be in between two systems. The initial
low will be well offshore by tomorrow, with the high over Quebec
briefly building southward across our area. Winds will decrease some
as the gradient relaxes, but breezy conditions, especially along the
coast, are expected to linger through the day. A residual stationary
boundary will remain S of the local area, so NE flow will continue
to prevail. This will result in cloudy and cool conditions with
highs in the lower/mid 50s inland, around 60F toward the coast, and
locally in the lower/mid 60s along the SE VA/NE NC coast. PoPs will
be 10-20% in the morning, increasing to 30-50% in the late
afternoon. Likely PoPs across the Piedmont are forecast later in the
afternoon/early evening as a steady light rain develops with another
approaching system.

Another upper low will dive across the Mid-South on Wednesday, with
surface low pressure developing in front of this low along a
stationary boundary draped across the eastern Central Plains. This
low and associated upper trough will drive NNE on Thursday
afternoon, dragging an attendant cold front across the area. As the
front pushes through, there will likely be some limited instability
and decent shear accompanying it so cannot rule out some weak
convection developing. Strong SE flow (35-50 kts) just off the
surface is expected as this weak convection moves through, so there
is the possibility for a few isolated strong to severe gusts making
it to the surface. With this in mind, SPC has placed SE VA and NE NC
in a Marginal Risk. In terms of flood potential, that remains low at
this time. In contrary to the rain shield today, Thursday's rain
will likely impact the northern half of the forecast area more. Mean
QPF values range between 0.75-1.5" for the north and 0.5-0.75"
across the south. By Thursday night, the system will lift to the
northeast ride the NE coast through Friday night. Conditions will
start to dry as this systems moves further away from the area.
Temperatures will drop into the mid-upper 40s Thursday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Tuesday...

Key Messages:

- Drying out with below average temperatures Friday into the
  weekend.

Dry conditions are expected on Halloween, though gusty winds will
linger through the day. High pressure will build in from the SW,
causing the gradient between this feature and the low moving across
the NE will tighten. This tightened gradient combined with the drier
westerly flow will allow wind gusts to pick up to around 20-30 mph.
Temperatures on Friday night will drop into the lower to mid 40s.
Winds will likely remain high enough to prevent too much radiational
cooling. Below normal temperatures will continue Saturday and
Sunday, with highs ranging from 60-65F. Chilly overnight lows are
forecast, and there could be a frost potential for portions of the
area where the growing season is still in effect each night Friday
night through Sunday night. Another front may try to move through
the area on Sunday or Sunday night, but there still remains
significant disagreement in regards to timing and strength.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 200 AM EDT Wednesday...

1033mb high pressure is centered over QB as of 06z and is
ridging S into the Mid-Atlantic region. Meanwhile, low pressure
and a trailing front are located offshore of the Carolina coast.
The wind is NE ~10kt inland and 10-15kt with gusts to ~20kt
near the coast. Cigs are primarily MVFR with areas of light rain
across far SE VA and NE NC, and along the MD coast. MVFR cigs
persist through this morning and into the aftn, with IFR cigs
developing at RIC by this aftn. Light rain will gradually
increase in coverage today as a warm front approaches from the
S. Low pressure approaches from the SW tonight with the warm
front lifting into the region. MVFR and IFR cigs are expected
along with rain occasionally producing MVFR/IFR vsby. The wind
will gradually become easterly later this aftn and evening and
then SE by tonight, with gusts up to ~25 kt toward the coast.

Showers and perhaps a tstm lift across the area Thursday morning
as low pressure lifts NE of the region and pulls a cold front
through. Conditions rapidly improve from SW-NE Thursday aftn.
VFR conditions return Thursday night into the weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 900 PM EDT Tuesday...

Key Messages:

- Gale Warnings remain in effect tonight for the coastal waters
  and Currituck sound, with SCAs in effect elsewhere.

- A High Surf Advisory remains in effect into Wed night given
  dangerous nearshore seas of 8-14 ft (highest S). Offshore
  seas remain in the 10-15 ft range.

- Low pressure and a cold front impact the area late in the
  week, bringing continued unsettled conditions.

~1000 mb low pressure is moving northeast out to sea well offshore
of the NC Outer Banks this evening. Well to our N, strong high
pressure remains settled over Quebec. The pressure gradient
between these two features is leading to strong NE flow, with
widespread Gale conditions experienced today. Per the latest
observations, winds have decreased a bit more since the aftn, so
now have cancelled all Gale warnings in the Bay/lower James,
while maintaining them on the Ocean and Currituck sound. Also
trimmed the end of the warnings by a few hours given the latest
trends in model guidance. Gale Warnings will need to be replaced
with SCAs tonight through most of Thursday due to lingering
winds and seas.

Unsettled marine conditions continue through late week as a
secondary trough approaches from the west Wednesday, allowing
another surface low to track NE across the Mid Atlantic region on
Thu. NE winds gradually diminish to 15-25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt
Wed, becoming E Wed night, then becoming SE early Thu behind a warm
front lifting north. As the low tracks nearby, expect a lull in
winds Thursday (potentially sub-SCA), but confidence is lower during
this period. Additionally, a line of low-topped showers (with
isolated storms) could track through the waters and bring
locally higher winds in the very early morning hours of
Thursday. Winds become SW/W behind the cold front Thu night
into Fri. The dry/cool air moving behind the deepening low
should result in another period of strong SCA to low-end Gale
conditions from late Thursday night into Friday. Conditions
improve significantly by the weekend with sub-SCA conditions
expected (outside of any lingering elevated seas Sat).

Waves of 5-8 ft persist in the lower and mouth of the bay this
evening into tonight, with 9-14 ft seas on the coastal waters
(highest S). A High Surf Advisory remains in effect across all
of the Atlantic coastline through Wed night. Seas slowly
subside Thursday, but may increase again Friday with the
increased W winds. However, the offshore wind direction should
prevent the seas from getting much higher than 6-8 ft. Seas may
drop below SCA criteria Fri night into the weekend.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 900 PM EDT Tuesday...

Widespread minor to locally moderate flooding occurred this afternoon
due to the persistent and strong NE winds pushing tidal anomalies to
1.5-2.5 ft above normal across the Jame river. Coastal Flood
Warnings remain in effect here. Farther north, the higher high
tide has passed, so the Warning along the Rappahannock has been
replaced with an Advisory for the Wed morning high tide.

The higher tidal anomalies begin to shift into the upper bay by the
middle-later portions of the week, with increasing confidence in
southerly flow by Thursday. This would likely yield moderate to
locally major flooding at most gauges north of Windmill Point, which
could continue into Friday for the Bay-side of the Lower MD Eastern
Shore as the wind becomes westerly behind a cold front. Coastal
Flood Watches have been issued from Wednesday night into Thursday
night. Additionally, the MD Atlantic shore should see minor flooding
starting Wednesday afternoon and possibly again Wednesday night; a
Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued to cover this potential here.
Water levels should fall rather quickly late in the week into the
weekend as winds turn offshore and decrease.

Of note, we are entering a window of relatively lower astronomical
tides, so the tidal flooding threat is not quite as high as it could
be with strong NE flow in October. For example, the predicted
astronomical high tide at Sewells Point this afternoon is near 2.7
ft MLLW, so a 2.5 ft anomaly would still just be in minor flood
stage (~5.3 ft MLLW). During the next King Tides in early Nov, the
predicted highest astronomical high tide at Sewells Point reaches
3.54 ft MLLW on 11/6.
